(How can there be conflict if they are identical, Indometacin japan, you might ask. 20mg Indometacin, If you are asking that, you clearly don’t have kids. Please go back to sipping your mai thai and sleeping in late, Indometacin australia, or whatever it is you do with your luxuriously whining-free days, 250mg Indometacin, and don’t worry about why they would fight over something they each have.)

Step 22: Return to kitchen and contemplate chopped vegetables. Get interrupted by cries of “BUGGY-BUGGY. NOOOO!” and head back downstairs for bug removal.

Step 23: Wash hands.

Step 24 : Decide you’re done for the moment. Put chopped veggies into containers and put in fridge. Sit on kitchen floor with laptop and peruse food blogs for a few minutes, Indometacin For Sale. Break into maniacal laughter at recipes for “Quick and Easy Stir-Fries.” BWAAHAHAHAHAHA. HA.

Step 25: Realize that it is almost 3:30. You have literally done nothing today but break your car and attempt to prep some veggies to be stir-fried. Head downstairs to turn off TV and brace for gigantic fight over turning off TV.

Step 26: Gigantic fight finally over. Indometacin For Sale, Husband should be home soon. Decide you no longer care about making stir-fry*. Locate takeout menu for Fresh Wok.

.....

*It’s not like they would have eaten it anyway. The kids only like plain rice (and plain vegetables) and the husband doesn’t really like tofu. Whatever.

OMG this is hilarous, my first visit to your blog, you are now added to my favorites. This is so typical of a usual trip to the store, when everything seems to be going great then BAM it’s all downhill. I keep the take out menus very handy, even when I have all intentions of cooking delicious home made meals every day, sometimes it just doesn’t happen the way you plan it.

I jinxed myself, on Monday I hit a pothole and busted my car. And since then I’ve driven down that same road trying to find the horrible enormous pothole and guess what? I cannot find it for the life of me, I’m convinced they came and filled it in 5 minutes after it swallowed my car!
